I've been wondering about a few things and wanted to get your advice. I'm curious if a penis size of 12-13 cm is considered good for sex, and are there any natural ways to increase size? Also, I tend to release sperm quite quickly, often within a minute, and I wonder how I might control that better. Does masturbation actually make your penis size smaller? I'd love some recommendations on foods that could help with penis enlargement and improving sperm health. Is it okay to shave regularly down there, and I also spend a lot of time nude at home; could that be harmful in any way?

I noticed a small pea-sized cyst on my scrotum and I'm not sure what to do about it. Should I see a urologist or a general surgeon to get it checked out? Is surgery the only option or are there other ways to treat it?

See a urologist first. If it‚Äôs an epidermoid cyst or sebaceous cyst, surgery is the cure. If inflamed, antibiotics may help first.

I'm dealing with an issue where the head of my penis is really sensitive, and it's leading to premature ejaculation. I'm looking for advice on how to address this sensitivity problem. What's the best way to manage this?

One treatment option you can try is using a topical anesthetic cream containing lidocaine. You can apply a small amount of cream to the sensitive area about 10-15 minutes before sexual activity. This can help reduce the sensitivity and delay ejaculation. One brand you can look for is Stud 100, and the recommended dosage is to apply a small pea-sized amount as needed. Remember to wash it off before intercourse to prevent transfer to your partner.
